Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

Naturally, Jia Rong didn't know about the little chaos in Feng's family that was caused by him, because Jia Rong was really busy when the new year was approaching.Not to mention other things, but the annual profit summary and other related matters on some Zhuangzi outside the Ningguo Mansion are enough to keep Jia Rong busy.Naturally, he didn't feel relieved to leave it to Youshi, his stepmother, to be busy with such things as holding the account books of Ningguo Mansion.

Some things are safer if you hold them in your own hands.

"Master, this is the gift list drawn up by the wife, do you want to have a look at it?" Zhiwen Fu saluted.

Jia Rong shook her head and said, "You don't need to return to me about such human relations. My wife has always done a good job in this aspect, so just follow her wishes." I have to admit that You Shi, the stepmother Yes, Jia Rong still doesn't dislike her very much. Apart from other things, she does a good job in the area of ​​human relations.Compared with Mrs. Rong Guofu, what she did was not bad.

Zhiwen blesses the body, responds, and stops talking.

"By the way, Zhiwen, bring me the gift list for my uncle's house, and I'll take a look." Jia Rong said again as if thinking of something.

Knowingly and deftly, he took out Uncle Feng's gift list from a stack of gift lists and handed it to Jia Rong.

After scanning it over, Jia Rong said, "According to this gift list, I am adding three layers. In addition, put the "Drinking Water Picture" in my study into the gift list." After a pause, he thought of it again. What, he said: "I remember that there seems to be a box of high-quality South Sea pearls in my private treasury, or did I copy them from Lai Er's house? Are they still there?"

"If you go back to the uncle, it's still in the warehouse. But you want to send it to the uncle as well?" Zhiwen Fu asked Fushen.

Jia Rong nodded and said, "Find it out. My aunt has always liked pearls, so I gave them to my aunt." My marriage depends on my uncle and aunt. What kind of temperament does my uncle have?I can't understand it best.Most of this matter will still fall on the aunt's head, and it just so happens that the cousin of the uncle's family has also reached the age of marriage, and it is inevitable that the aunt will be busier this year.

Zhiwen answered immediately.

This year's New Year's Eve in Ningguo Mansion was more lively than usual, because there was an extra kid.It was sister Han, who was born by Aunt Pei, who was less than half a year old.Although this little guy was born with some deficiencies, and in the first two months of his life, he could be weak, and he would get into trouble every few days, but his vitality was surprisingly tenacious, and she even survived such a serious disease as smallpox. It’s also good to raise it with the time the day after tomorrow.

Now five months old, she is white and fat, lively and active, with a toothless smile and a small dimple on her cheek, which is very cute.

Jia Rong was a woman in her previous life, so he has always been more tolerant and friendly to women than to men.In addition, at this time, his younger sister did not pose any threat to him at all, and she was even well-educated. If she married someone in the future, it would also be the help of the mansion.So Jia Rong is quite kind to this concubine younger sister.

Jia Zhen didn't even pay much attention to Jia Rong, the eldest son and only son, let alone this concubine's daughter. When Aunt Pei was pregnant, he valued Aunt Pei. Children are more important.But now his illness has completely recovered.Then he naturally didn't pay attention to this cheap daughter.

The name Sister Han was chosen by Jia Rong.

According to Jia Zhen, she was just a daughter of a concubine.When I grow up in the future, a dowry will settle the matter, so I don't have to worry about it at all, just pick a random name, and I need to worry about it.So he circled one casually, it was an obscene word, and Jia Rong's face turned dark when he saw it.

Although he was born of a concubine, but there are only a few people in his Ningguo Mansion, how could he choose his name randomly.Still such vulgar words.So he rewrote the Han characters and asked someone to send it to Aunt Pei.Naturally, Jia Zhen had no objection at all. Seeing that Jia Rong had settled down, he shook his head and went outside to find those cronies.

For Jia Zhen, Jia Rong has no thoughts at all now.As long as he doesn't get into trouble, everything else is fine.

Aunt Pei is naturally full of joy that her daughter can use cursive characters as her name.In this way, it can be regarded as brother Rong's recognition of this younger sister, and a little more guarantee for the future with his daughter.Naturally, she can only be happy.

The second day of the new year is a day to visit relatives and friends.

Because Jia Rong had received a message from Uncle Feng, saying that his marriage was already in shape, Jia Rong chose this day to go to Feng's house.

This time when I came to Feng's house, apart from paying New Year's greetings to my uncle and aunt, there was also the issue of his marriage.Among the four candidates given by them, Jia Rong picked at a glance not the granddaughter of Wu Gelao, whom Uncle Feng had favored earlier, but the girl from the Gu family whom Uncle Feng was least optimistic about.

"Brother Rong, although this girl from the Gu family is pretty good, the situation in her family will not help you much in your future career. Although her family is a scholarly family, it only started from his grandfather. She's just a Juren, and she's only a fifth-rank official all her life. Although her father is a Jinshi with two rankings, but because there is no one in the court, he is now in his forties, and he is only a fourth-rank official. The magistrate of Qingzhou, a few years ago, because of Ding You and his own poor health, he has already retired from the family. To put it bluntly, it is just an ordinary family now. If you marry her, then..." Uncle Feng said so .

Before Uncle Feng finished speaking, Jia Rong said, "Uncle, I know what you mean. Although Wu Ge's old home is good, but his family has a large population and flourishes, so there are many things to do. Get up. Although the girl from the Gu family is no better than the girl from the Wu family in all aspects, what I value is her. I know that my uncle wants me to have a Yue family who can support me in the future so that I won't have to work so hard. But my own future , I will work hard on my own. I don’t need to rely on women to get on the road.” After a pause, he continued: “My uncle also knows about the situation in my family. We must find someone who is stronger.”

Hearing Jia Rong's words, Uncle Feng stroked his mustache in an orderly manner, nodded and said, "There is some truth in what you said. If that's the case, I'll let you Auntie, find a day to go to Gu's house to check her family's reputation, if you want to, I will tell you again, when the time comes, just ask someone to come to propose marriage. "

Jia Rong made a long essay to Uncle Feng, saying, "Thank you Uncle for worrying about me."

Uncle Feng looked at Jia Rong and sighed, but he didn't let Jia Rong get up.

"Is the master in the house? Or out?" After having lunch at his uncle's house, and playing with his two cousins ​​for a while, Jia Rong set off and came back, thinking about her own marriage. Unexpectedly, it has already been settled.Although she had already given up any hope for Jia Zhen, Jia Rong felt it was necessary to talk to him.

Zhiwen Fu saluted and replied: "If you go back to the uncle, the uncle just left the mansion today, and the master also accompanied his wife back to her mother's house. He hasn't come back yet."

Jia Rong nodded, indicating that she knew.For no reason, when he heard that Jia Zhen accompanied Youshi to You's house, his brows twitched, thinking that something bad would happen?Thinking of this, Jia Rong asked again: "Who is with the master?"

Zhiwen replied, "My wife is accompanied by Yindie and Mujin Mumian. As for the master, I brought Wan'er and Shou'er over."

Hearing that Wan'er and Shou'er were following Jia Zhen, Jia Rong's frowning calmed down a bit, but she still felt a little uneasy in her heart, and turned her head and said, "Zhiwen, go and ask Wu Ya to come over. Say I have something to tell him."

Knowing that Wen was blessed, he turned and left.

It has been five or six years since You Shi married into their Ningguo Mansion.Except for the first year, when Jia Zhen and You Shi were still in the honey and oil, Jia Zhen and You Shi went back to her natal home on weekdays, and he accompanied You Shi there, other times, he made excuses , did not go.Up to now, the relationship between Jia Zhen and Youshi is just so-so, and going back to her mother's house with Youshi at this time is not at ease no matter how you look at it.

It suddenly occurred to me that Second Sister You and Third Sister You were both full-fledged beauties.Jia Rong suddenly felt that she seemed to understand Jia Zhen's idea of ​​going there with Youshi.

"Master." Wu Ya clasped his fists and said.

Jia Rong flexed her fingers, knocked on the table, and said: "Wu Ya, you go quietly to You's house now. Go and see what the master is doing? It's fine if it's an ordinary thing. If he dares to do something excessive If you want to do something, you can find a time to give this to Wan'er, and let him find a time to let the master eat it." He said and threw Wu Ya an inconspicuous celadon bottle.

As Jia Rong's confidant, Wu Ya naturally knew what he was worried about?It can also be roughly guessed, what is in this bottle?However, although he said he was the guard of the Ningguo Mansion, he was never loyal to Jia Zhen, the honorary head of the family, but Jia Rong from the beginning.Arching his hands, he replied in a deep voice, "Yes, this subordinate understands."

Looking at the back of Wu Ya leaving, Jia Rong narrowed her eyes slightly, with a cold look on her face.

If Jia Zhen went to You's house this time, it would be fine to be honest.If he dared to do something that would damage the face of the manor, then this time, he would never show mercy, and he would be completely destroyed.

Although Jia Rong thought well, there were people who didn't cooperate. When Wu Ya arrived at You's house, she quietly climbed over the wall and entered You's house from behind.I didn't want to take two steps, and then I heard a burst of laughter, which was also mixed with a woman's delicate voice. Of course, the most obvious one was Jia Zhen's unscrupulous voice.

Following the voice, Wu Ya walked forward all the way.Soon they came to a house.

Here, you can clearly hear the voices inside.

After only two sentences, Wu Ya frowned, and the hand holding the celadon bottle tightened unexpectedly.

It seems that the master is not worried at all. The master came back with his wife, but he just fell in love with the two daughters of the You family.The master is really a mud that can't support the wall. If it weren't for the master, how could he live such a carefree life now.Just like that, I still don't know how to be considerate and feel sorry for my master.If you want to find beauties, there are many in Hualiu Street, but you can't find what you want.I don't know what the master thinks, but he just fell in love with his wife and sister.If this matter gets out, wouldn't the master's hard work these years be in vain.

Carefully walking around to the front, Wu Ya immediately saw Wan'er and Shou'er who were guarding the door with helpless expressions.Flicking his fingers, he flicked a small stone towards Wan'er, hitting Wan'er's face impartially.

Wan'er immediately turned his head to look over, and saw Wu Ya waving to him on the side.Immediately confessed a few words to Shou'er next to him, then trotted towards Wu Ya.

"You came here at this time, but what's the matter?" Wan'er asked like this.

Wu Ya just looked into the house, and with a bit of coldness in his tone, he asked, "Has it always been like this?"

"But. Just now, Mrs. You made her daughter, Miss You Er, a qin girl, play the piano beside her. Miss You San danced a song in light clothes like a dancer. If it wasn't for the presence of his wife Beside, the master was almost on the spot..." Although the words were not finished, the meaning was already self-evident.

Seeing this, Wu Ya's expression became even colder. He put the porcelain vase in Wan'er's hands and said, "Master, I'm a little worried here. I'm afraid that the master will do something that will damage the reputation of the family. Wait a while and find It's time to mix the things here and let the master drink it."

Wan'er stood outside the door waiting, listening to or watching the situation inside, already suffering, he definitely couldn't stop the master.If they really make things happen, the master will be fine after returning.But these servants who follow around will become the uncle's punching bag.The uncle's violent temper is known to the whole family, and they will at least peel off their skins when the time comes.I am discussing with Shou'er, and I want to find a way to let the master go back as soon as possible.It's just half a day, and there is no particularly good way.

Seeing Wu Ya coming now, Wan'er felt relieved, and immediately nodded to show that he knew.

It was during this day that Jia Zhen broke Mrs. You's consent, and even Mrs. You turned a blind eye, hoping to make a good deal with Second Sister You.I didn't want to but found that he stopped lifting again, and this time it was more serious than last time. Although Zhiqiu's treatment made him a little better, but the time was very short.Later, after marrying the beauty Qin Keqing, the itching became even more unbearable. She has been tirelessly looking for a way to cure her completely, but she has not been able to cure her all her life.

For this reason, Jia Zhen vented all her anger on Youshi's mother and daughter.If the first time can still be a coincidence, then how to explain the second time.Even Youshi suffered a lot, and became a real person who is not old and not fading, but the favor is not there, and the name of Grandma Zhen is empty.

Of course, these are just stories now.

Until Xu Shi, Jia Zhen and You Shifang came back from You's house.And the expressions of the two people are different.Although Youshi's expression was dignified, upon closer inspection, there was a sigh of relief between her brows.As for Jia Zhen's face, it was not so relaxed, it was so gloomy that it almost dripped water.

"Father's face is so ugly, but with mother at You's house, what unpleasant things happened?" Although Jia Rong knew the reason for Jia Zhen's ugly face, she pretended not to know , and asked with a touch of salt on the wound.

It's like this kind of flirting with a beauty, but when you get close to the door, you find that you can't do it. How can Jia Zhen, a face-saving person like Jia Zhen, tell Jia Rong about such a thing.First, he gave You Shi a fierce look, and then said: "It's just some trivial things."

Jia Zhen didn't want to say it, and Jia Rong naturally wouldn't force it. She immediately changed the subject and said, "Father, I have something to tell my father. Today I went to my uncle's place and got the news. It's mine. The marriage has been settled. Let me take it to my father to have a look. If my father looks okay, I will ask my aunt to ask about it. After the Lantern Festival, it will be officially settled."

At this time, how could Jia Zhen have the heart to watch this.I just flipped through it hastily, and said, "Since your uncle is optimistic, it must be an excellent one. After the Lantern Festival, let your mother and aunt take care of it together." After speaking, he looked at Youshi.

You Shi immediately said: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely handle it properly."

Jia Zhen nodded indiscriminately, and then said to Jia Rong with an uncomfortable expression: "Brother Rong, I feel a little uncomfortable today, let your maid who is good at medicine come over and diagnose my pulse."

"Yes, father. Let her go there now." Jia Rong's mouth hooked in response.
